And I sincerely hope both @EU_Commission and @Bundesverband will actively go after manufacturers that want to deny people their freedom to actually own their devices as per "1st sale doctrine".

Like it's none of Apple's business if someone chose to get a #refurbished display unless they want to fraudulently sell it as a new device and not a replacement - but that's already covered with fraud.

@TwraSun das Problem am #RightToRepairEU / #RightToRepair in der #EU ist dass es effektiv nen #Downgrade zum #StatusQuo ermöglicht.
